We’ll see your bet and raise you!
Once upon a time, a nation founded in liberty enjoyed Presidents who appealed to the better angels of our nature, invoked shining cities on a hill, welcomed morning in America, promised we had nothing to fear but fear itself, and asked not what Big Brother can do for us.
In other words, we don’t recall Reagan calling Mondale “a lunatic.” Candidates who do so describe themselves.
Like that V-8 commercial of yore, Republicans coulda’ had a Nikki Haley! Accomplished, female, and youthful — here is a candidate who can think on her high heels. She could do to Kamala Harris on a debate stage what she did to late-night gizmo pitchman Vivek Ramaswamy: Squish him like a bug.
Instead, the Republican party is stuck with a deluded and bitter old man who thinks he won the 2020 election and blames Nancy Pelosi for the Proud Boys he set loose on the Capitol.
Instead of the usual post-convention bounce, the Republican nominee has lost the 6-point lead he enjoyed a week ago against Joe Biden. The latest New York Times/Siena poll has Kamala Harris trailing only by a single point: 48%to 47%.
I remain as unwilling to vote for Donald Trump as ever; that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t enjoy watching immensely what happens when the Democrats try to double down on the exact aspects of their political identity that are already dissolving the original core of their coalition like hydrochloric acid. What can I say? I love science experiments. — Jeffrey Blehar, National Review
Out of his league
Only reason Trump won that pivotal CNN debate June 27 is because Joe Biden “had a cold.” Now that Democrats played the old switcheroo with Kamala, the Republican nominee is retreating to the safe silos of his MAGA rallies. His true-believers are the only ones who appreciate his school-yard name calling.
Haley said in January that if Trump was the GOP nominee, Harris would be President. Thursday 07-25-24, Haley told CNN:
“The Democrats are very smart to put in a younger candidate. I think that‘s what America has craved, but I think what you look at is they put in the weakest candidate they could put in,” Haley said.
Kamala’s political instincts make Bernie Sanders seem like a Proud Boy. Activists who share her opinions (and those of our Mark Pocan) of Israel burned American flags during the prime minister’s speech and replaced them with Palestinian flags. Others waved the flag of Hamas. They vandalized statutes with spray paint reading “Hamas is comin’.” They sprinkled Netanyahu’s hotel with maggots. They assaulted police. “Iran’s useful idiots,” indeed! Netanyahu had them pegged.
→ The Nation: “The protests were peaceful, barring a few isolated incidents.”
Blaska’s Bottom Line: My political party just re-nominated a candidate who growls like a kiddie cartoon villain — GROWLS! — insults and veiled threats. Joe Biden may have been senescent; Donald Trump is just plain unhinged. Consider his latest rant:
“There’s never been a lunatic like this in the White House. … the most incompetent vice president in history. … She’s unfit to lead. She’ll destroy our country in a year.” — Trump at Michigan MAGA rally 07-25-24

This is your chance Dave! A breakout candidate from a swing state, ready to return the party to its roots, unify and lead them to victory!! 😉
The reason we cannot is that, as my Trumpfans say, “It’s Donald Trump’s party until he says otherwise.” I’m afraid they are right.
Nothing I hate more than a former President with unparalleled SUCCESS for the American People!!! 🙄
Harris is an unhinged LUNATIC proven by all her socialistword salad spew n incompetence at the border threatening the security n sovereignty of America!!! END OF STORY!!!

Everyone wanted Biden gone; you all got your wish. Who do you think they would run; Scott Walker? Now trump is trying to get out of the debate and the gop dislikes Vance. Since you got out of bed on the left side today you know what that means; NO TOMATOES FOR YOU! We want to see the doctors report on donny’s ear booboo and his cognitive tests, but those are locked up tighter than Clarence Thomas’s travel records. Enjoy the opening of the Olympics. GO USA
Too bad Trump chickened out of the debate. Would have been fun watching an ignorant convicted felon attempt to match wits with an experienced prosecutor.
Yeah just liked she “matched wits” with Tulsi Gabbard and Lester Holt.
We The People want to see the Real Kacklin’ Kamala.
That won’t happen for the idiot base, because the despicable Lefty Press (forgive the redundancy) is diligently SCRUBBING her DESPICABLE PAST
Lefty laughably lacks even the basic self-awareness to ponder just how STOOPID (sic) their handlers really think they are, which is pretty G***AMNED STOOPID (sic) according to the fact-based Reality.
The Gotch
Once again you edit out the facts, or you are trying to rewrite history. A GOP trait that is extremely dishonest. What you are posting is from the year 2019. The site explained why it was removed. Only one session. Old news. Did not pertain to the rest of her record. They changed their policy. By not taking this info into account means you are the STOOPID one, a member of trump’s idiot base and not living in a fact-based reality. It’s becoming a full time job fact checking all the nonsense you post. To quote Vance, “you’re becoming a childless cat man tomato squeezer.”

You are getting soft crotch. I remember you using a larger font when posting insults.
Haley would fold just like a cheap lawn chair. It could be a battle of the screechers though.
You didn’t watch Haley dismantle Vivek, did you.
Vivek ended Haley:
NIKKI = CORRUPT
LOL. Vivek is the Buttplug of the Repubs. Weak comparison. Haley is the Swamp like Moscow Mitch.
There you go again. *make america great again* forgot that one, i guess Wait a minute, are you trying to say you think Trump is a bad candidate and you dont like him? Are you trying make people not vote for him so we can have 4 more years of marxist “utopia”? Tell us how you really feel.
One more blast of Blaska’s insufferable TDS on this blog and I’ll be terminally pulling the plug in it! Have a nice day.
“If Democrats can swap out their candidate, why can’t we?”
Or, “If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can’t I?”
Or, “Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do or die.”
Or, Republicans are dinked.
The answer to that question is you certainly can and please do it. The problem is the gop is too corrupt and stupid to do it. They all know donny is a lying, cheating, 34 time felon, but lack the nuts to dump him. Then when everything takes a dump it’s lefties fault. No; it’s your fault. Now you have Vance; the mini-me trump bobblehead that your party hates. What’s really funny is you morons had 4 years to dump trump and never did it because of pure cowardice.
Please please please, Mister RIchard…don’t hold it all in, tell us what you really think of Trump, Vance, and the GOP!
OK….STOOPIDD, CORRUPT, LIARS, SELF-SERVING, SENILE, NOT FIT FOR OFFICE. How’s that?
The despicable Lefty Press is doing its level best to shield We The People from The Truth About Kacklin’ Kamala; she can run, but she can’t hide.
She wants everyone to end up in the Same Place which she’ll do by taking from you-n-yours and transferring it to the Gimmee Gimmees

I don’t know what’s more sickening, the Dems’ hypocrisy in claiming that Biden threw in the towel “for the good of the country” (when it was, in fact, the result of the best choreographed defenestration in modern history) or the (increasingly likely) prospect of Obama’s 4th term.
I know you didn’t mean “Obama’s 4th term” literally, Gary. He served two full terms of four years each. He is limited by Amendment 22 of the Constitution to no more than two terms. Are there special circumstances? Gee. Maybe a third term for Obama wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Kidding.😁
Don’t panic.
Hey Anonymous, I’m still waiting for your answer to my question posed awhile back: where were you the last 4 years regarding Biden’s cognitive state?
Maybe Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence or maybe Paul Ryan the budget guru until he had to show his work. After reading the bio’s of the candidate for Dane County Exec. and other offices in today’s paper I see they already are elected or already work for the government. If you want change you can’t keep electing the same people.
Comment from another blog (bolds/caps/italics mine throughout): “The publisher of the German language version of Vance’s book is refusing to print more copies (it is sold out) because it might help Trump’s campaign. Other publishers have stated they are proud they never printed his book. AMAZON JUST BANNED A BOOK CRITICAL OF HARRIS THAT HAS BEEN ON SALE FOR OVER THREE YEARS.
The everLUV‘ coup de grâce/kill shot? “WE CAN’T LET TRUMP WIN OR HE’LL DO AWAY WITH FREE SPEECH!”
Kacklin’ Kamala goes from record disapproval ratings to EXCITING at seemingly warp speed?
Lefty media bias? There ain’t no Lefty media bias!
The Gotch
Faux news own poll shows Harris beating the felon. The reason more copies won’t be printed? BECAUSE VANCE OPENED HIS MOUTH AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF STOOOPPIDDD CAME OUT. Caps are mine.
